The Actual REASON Palpatine’s Face Changed (NOT Sith Alchemy) - Star Wars Explained

what's happening to everyone, so there are many theories revolving around why Palpatine's

face

changed

from the grandfather chancellor that Palpatine is to the demonic looking sister Lord that his city, if there is one, will say this was always his

face

and that he used

alchemy

to cover it up. Wow, that could be true on some extremely legendary materials. It's definitely not the answer. There is an answer as close to canon as possible from the Revenge of the Sith novelization and I'm here to explain it to you now. This is a very gray area when I say canon because once Disney took over all the books and novelizations before purchasing Lucasfilm, they were considered legends; however, in my opinion, doing this with the books that were written when the film came out as the official novelization of the film overseen by George Lucas makes me think they are more Canon than anything else, but let me reiterate that this is not canon by Disney standards, of course, but in terms of the movie, you know it's pretty close anyway. in the revenge of the

sith

novelization, let's move on to the pages of

palpatine

and the mace duel where we get to this scene right here as

palpatine

cowers in the corner and begs for anakin's help.

The novel definitely hints that Palpatine orchestrated this whole move by himself to bring up the scenario where he needs Anakin's help and must force him to kill Mace Windu, solidifying himself into the dark side and leaving him no choice now, wow, that's it. A different topic for another time, this reading will meet the parties as he shoots lightning at Mace. and he has veered towards himself here we come towards me I can't take it anymore the yellow glow of Palpatine's eyes spread outward across his flesh his skin flowed like oil as if the muscle beneath was burning as if even the bones of his skull were softening they were bending and bulging deforming from the heat and pressure of his electrical hatred it is killing me Anakin please the sheet of tables bent so close to his face that he was choking on ozone Anakin is too strong to me right here we can see that the

actual

heat from the electricity that Palpatine sent and bounced off of him was melting not only his skin but softening his

actual

bone, bending and bulging it, deforming it from the heat pressure of the force ray, that's some information considerably important.

Now here is another simply written article. After Mace dies, Anakin lay motionless just inside the office, Palpatine examining the damage to his face in a wide, expansive wall mirror. Anakin couldn't tell if his expression might be revulsion or if it was simply the new shape of his features. Palpatine raised a hesitant hand. to the deformity that he now saw in the mirror, then he simply shrugged his shoulders and so the mosque became men, he sighed with a touch of philosophical melancholy. I think I will miss Palpatine's face, but for our purposes, Sidious's face and there is our final answer to all Palpatine's face was never hidden with Sith

alchemy

it is even reiterated right here and says so the mask becomes the man with philosophical melancholy this basically means that the person he was inside always since childhood when Plagueis took him under his wing was always this face, this demonic looking predator with yellow eyes and macabre features.

I think Sidious's face is much more appropriate for the Sith Lord, however, if they hadn't softened his bones with a mace, he wouldn't look so disfigured, he definitely still looked messy, don. Don't get me wrong because large amounts of the dark side will do that to you over time, but definitely not like this, so I hope that clears up how the city has the face that we all know and you know. kind of love, thank you for taking care of everyone yes everyone have an amazing day and I'll see you all on the next episode of Star Wars Theory until then my fellow Jedi and Sith friends remember before fate.
